Animation One

This is the first animation project I created in Maya. The brief for this project was to explore different emotions and how characters would move with these different feelings - because of this I was inspired by the bright colours and simple shapes used in kids TV shows. This animation is comprised of 5 scenes that loop into each other, each showing a different character dynamic and emotion which is mirrored by the cube the characters interact with.
This project taught me about how to use Maya to create animations such as the character rigging process as well key framing and using spline interpolation for the character movements. I also used 3D Coat to paint the character rigs.
Character Emotions:
Bouncing Ball - Happy
Floursack - Sadness
Monster - Angry
Walker - Sleepy
Hotdog - Playful/Inquisitive
